Hello Ben Combee,
                Thanks again. 
Seems like we need to buy the code from palm. :-( no choice.

 I understand that we need to talk to them regarding this. Just want
to collect some info before giving it a try.

Do you have a rough idea how much it might cost ? and assume that we
are ready to buy the code, what exactly would they provide us ?
becuase we must be able to write a driver for our card, which can run
on ANY palm powered pda. Other wise it would be of not much use.

It should not be like we buy code from them and they give use code to
modify the code at the user level.

We must be able to recompile the ROM image, i guess we codwarrior will
do that for us...? right ? Load it to some board where we can test our
driver.

Thanks for your replies.

regards
pachu
